This Broken Spaghetti Risotto recipe is a unique twist on traditional risotto. Instead of using rice, broken spaghetti is cooked in a flavorful broth until creamy and tender. The dish is then finished with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, resulting in a rich and satisfying meal. It's a perfect comfort food for any occasion and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz broken spaghetti
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and aromatic.
  2. Add the broken spaghetti to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until it starts to turn golden brown.
  3. Pour in the white wine and stir until most of it has evaporated.
  4. Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding more.
  5. Continue to cook the spaghetti in this way, stirring frequently, until it is tender and has a creamy texture. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  6. Once the spaghetti is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the broken spaghetti risotto in bowls, garnished with fresh thyme leaves.
  8. Enjoy your delicious Broken Spaghetti Risotto!
